Answer:

2/5 < 5/8 < 6/7 < 1

OR

1 > 6/7 > 5/8 > 2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

It is required to compare Two-fifths, Six-sevenths, Five-eighths, and 1

Two-fifths = 2/5

Six-sevenths = 6/7

Five-eighths = 5/8

So, the given numbers are: 2/5, 6/7, 5/8, and 1

We need to make the numbers in order from the least to the greatest or from the greatest to the least

The easy method is convert the rational numbers to decimal numbers

So,

2/5 = 0.4

6/7 ≈ 0.857

5/8 = 0.625

1 = 1

So, the numbers form the least to the greatest are:

0.4 , 0.625 , 0.857 , 1

So,

2/5 , 5/8 , 6/7 , 1

The inequality correctly compares the numbers are:

2/5 < 5/8 < 6/7 < 1

Or can be written from the greatest to the least as:

1 > 6/7 > 5/8 > 2/5

Help please! I don't really understand :/

So you take 2 hours and multiply it by 5 cause you get $5 per hour. Then multiply 6.25 by 5. Add those together to get your answer!! So 5x2= 10. 6.25x5= 31.25. THE ANSWER SHOULD BE 41.25!

A type of green paint is made by mixing 2 cups of yellow with 3.5 cups of blue.

aliya0001 [1]

Answer: Use 1.75 cups of blue and 1 cup of yellow

Step-by-step explanation:

The given problem can be placed in the category of ratios and proportions. There is a ratio of color mixing which contains the proportion of two colors i.e blue and yellow. When we use 2 cups of yellow with 3.5 cups of yellow then we get green color so if we mix half of their amounts then we can get less or simply half amount of color too. Hence adding 1 cup of yellow and 1.75 cup of blue will give us small amount in result.
